Join us for a CLE webinar on September 25th on the competitive landscape for lawyers and law firms in a digital world is fierce. And the more aggressive it becomes, the greater the risks of running afoul of ethical rules and considerations. Maintaining technological competence and client confidentiality when using online marketing tools and social media are critical. But also understanding the compliance issues that go beyond simply reading the Rules of Professional Conduct can be the difference between a successful campaign and a dreaded violation letter. Join ethics attorney Micah Buchdahl, founder and president of HTMLawyers, Inc., and Kate Gould, AttPro Risk Management attorney, as they discuss how to effectively and ethically market in a digital world. https://lnkd.in/dA3pXDv

Managing legal operations/litigation, government affairs, cross-functional teams, regulatory compliance, and contracts.
Jordan Rothman offers great insights. I would add: 1) discuss juror perceptions of the client/company, especially where deep pockets or polarizing public sentiment may be involved; 2) be strategic about fee-shifting eligible claims, and clear with the client/company about how they are factoring into the valuation at various stages; and 3) GCs/execs: for deep pockets, frequently sued, and potentially polarizing companies, commit to "hardening the target" through thorough risk assessment and treatment practices.

Specialist fraud disputes & financial crime compliance lawyer | Conference speaker on all things fraud | Founder of award winning law firm Tenet | Trustee Director Fraud Advisory Panel
Frankly, I don’t get it 🤷♂️ I like it, love that we apparently stand out but am probably too insecure to actually think we are good enough to be in the company we keep. We act like ourselves, tell our story and we get shortlisted for awards.... go figure….being yourself can work 😊 Three short listings at the Modern Law Awards and one with LexisNexis UK Legal Awards 🙂 Boutique law firm and client service (both super important to us especially when about 90% of work are disputes which can be hard to manage client expectations with) but my favourite is our Knowledge Management award short listing by Lexis Nexis for their annual awards which stems from our fraud hub (link in the comments) and work with the University of Birmingham. Why my favourite? Because it sits with a purpose I have had from the start with Tenet - to share knowledge on preventing and combatting fraud to help clients and wider society. We have a brand that is slowly building - we want to be here to stay and keep doing the work that interests us. Our brand of putting our people first, recognised great client service and focus on disputes and compliance arising from fraud and financial crime is building bit by bit. These awards nods help us and we are very humbled to be amongst these other firms shortlisted. 🙏

Shadow juries are a relatively new tool in a high value trial. A "shadow juror" listens to the trial as it proceeds and provides their opinion as to what is resonating with the jury and what isn't. The primary focus of the shadow juror is to evaluate the impact of expert testimony as opposed to the overall performance of defense counsel. The average cost for a shadow juror is roughly $10,000 per day. The standard industry to response to a request for shadow juror expense is to "send the adjuster" to the trial. I can attest to this as I have attended many trials with the instructions to "put a stop to things if things start going south". The problem with this approach is the adjuster did the investigation, has been a part of defense formulation from the beginning, and has about as many biases as anyone involved in claim defense. The larger the biases, the bigger the blind spots. While an adjuster may be an economic way to try to avert impending disaster, it may not be your best choice for "the last line of defense". Whether you decide to do a mock trial, a shadow juror, or both, it is imperative to inject as much data into the process as possible. Fraud Sniffr, Inc. is an economical, convenient, and effective means to produce the necessary data necessary to maximize the value of your more expensive evaluation tools.

As you know, the Sitzer-Burnett verdict and subsequent copycat cases nationwide have led to a reassessment of real estate practices and the relationship between consumers and agents. Today, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has announced a proposed settlement to resolve litigation regarding broker commissions, pending court approval. This agreement aims to ease the burden on our members and provide a clear direction for the industry. It would release NAR, along with over a million NAR members, state and local associations, MLSs owned by associations, and brokerages with NAR members, from any liability related to claims on broker commissions made by home sellers. Various members' perspectives were considered during negotiations to safeguard the interests of all involved. The settlement achieves two main goals: securing the release of liability for many industry entities and maintaining consumer options in real estate services and payment. Key points of the settlement include a significant payment of $418 million over four years. Additionally, a new rule will prevent compensation offers from being listed on the MLS but will allow for negotiation outside of it. MLS participants working with buyers must have written representation agreements. NAR maintains its position of no wrongdoing, highlighting the advantages of cooperative compensation and existing policies in facilitating property ownership, particularly for lower- and middle-income buyers. WATCH: Litigation Update from NAR President Kevin Sears and CLO Katie Johnson https://lnkd.in/gVg-T5TK What’s next •The practice changes will go into effect in mid-July 2024. •The settlement is subject to court approval, which is a process that we can expect to take several months or more and will include an opportunity for interested parties to object. In large class action settlements like this one, objections are common. •We will move to have litigation about the MLS cooperative compensation Model Rule stayed, or paused, as to NAR pending the settlement approval process. •NAR will also continue to provide updates about the settlement process as it unfolds on competition.realtor. Additionally, there are materials available about today’s announcement at facts.realtor. You will need your NAR login credentials to access these materials. NAR will also continue to update competition.realtor with the latest information.

Johnson & Johnson Settlement Puts Litigation Funders in the Spotlight An opinion piece by Sujeet Indap in the Financial Times looks at the recent announcement of a settlement in the Johnson & Johnson talcum powder mass tort case, and the ways in which it has put the contentious role of litigation funders in the spotlight once more. Indap highlights that J&J used its press release announcing the settlement to take aim at “the unregulated and surreptitious financing of product litigation”, which it argued had created financial incentives for these large-scale mass tort cases. https://lnkd.in/e5ebvgXV #litigationfinance #litigationfunding #litfin #legalfinance #legalfunding #masstorts
